If it is as you stated, that the coach came in and started the altercation, how does an umpire get charged also?
Are we to allow someone to come in and pummel us without fighting back so we are not in the wrong?
Lord help us.

Just remember, Tony, we don't have all of the information that the police have.
Also, police will often charge everyone and let the DA (or, in some cases, the jury) decide who did what. If the umpire fought back, but his involvement was not in self-defense then, yes, "fighting back" was "in the wrong."
